Working with examples considerations

Compilation and registration examples that specify the --db option assume that there is a valid database called “dev” on the Netezza appliance.

To take advantage of the examples as they are built on through, it is important to use the correct file name. When saving the sample code, use the name that is supplied at the beginning of the Code section. This is also the name that is used in the compile step. The same file name is called later in subsequent examples.

Compilation and registration examples that specify the --user option assume that there is a valid database user named “nz”. This user should not be confused with the UNIX username.

All examples that are presented in this guide assume that the reader is working directly on an IBM Netezza host. Invoking scripts such as register_ae, editing source files, and other activities must be performed on the Netezza appliance. Some of the presented commands might not exist on the local desktop machine.
